This is the Facebook Step We Expected: Default Public

This is a big deal. Facebook is taking the final step to become more like Twitter. Thanks to RWW for pointing it out. I've been traveling and had not had a chance to read the new privacy settings, which state:

...we'll be recommending that you make available to everyone a limited set of information that helps people find and connect with you, information like "About Me" and where you work or go to school.... This information is name, profile picture, gender, current city, networks, friend list, and Pages....

The blog post explaining the changes amounts to a massive act of "burying the lead", to use a journalistic phrase. The lead is "the core of the story." To me, the fact that your status updates and other info will now be public is a pretty big story. But Facebook leads with this:

Today, we're launching new tools to give you even greater control over the information you share.

This is true, and having a more instrumented cockpit for privacy is really cool (and a big deal on a site with 350mm folks). But nowhere in the post is the status message shift mentioned. RWW found it in the video explaining the changes in more detail:

According to the video explaining the changes, the new default for status messages is "everyone." That's a huge change. Of course it's not hard for people to keep their existing privacy settings, but confusion around what those settings are is hardly resolved by the phrase "old settings" and a tool-tip phrase appearing when you hover over that option.

A substantial backlash has already begun in comments on the Facebook blog post about the announcement. Previous moves by the company, like the introduction of the news feed, have seen user resistance as well - but this move cuts against the fundamental proposition of Facebook: that your status updates are only visible to those you opt-in to exposing them to. You'll now have to opt-out of being public and opt-in to communicating only with people you've given permission to see your content.

Clearly, this change was not made lightly. And clearly, this is a move that pushes Facebook more toward embracing and extending a Twitter like model in the future.

What's next? Well, if the changes stand, expect a hell of a lot of action in the third party Facebook developer world....

Light, one of the very important parts of human living support, has tremendous benefit for us. Light itself is composed of many different rays. One of the components of light, called as blue light, has been known to tamper with our circadian rhythm.

Blue light itself can come from a lot of sources, including the lamp inside your room. However, the source which gives the most impact on people are from electronic devices. In this technology era, it's very hard for us to run away from using electronic devices. Those devices, such as Laptops and Handphones, have tremendously improve our quality of life by making our life easier and more fun through a lot of applications and systems available. Unfortunately, blue light emitted through the screen of those devices can affect our quality of sleep. Some research even advised us not to use our phone a few hours before we are going to sleep to improve our sleep quality.

Just recently, a news spread about a young lady, died due to attack of a Needle fish. The story began when she was having a vacation with her family at Tanjung Karang beach, Makassar, Indonesia. This unfortunate event happened on January 01, 2016.

Liena (39) was soaking her body near the shoreline, whilst suddenly a needlefish jump towards her face. She was not able to dodge because it was too sudden. The fish, known with its long sharp and spear like snout, pierced through her right eyelids. She was then screaming for help. Her husband's family was then run to help her. She was quite badly injured. The wound was so deep that it even pierced through the skull and caused her to vomit blood.

She was brought to the hospital by ambulance to Kabelota Donggala hospital. Nevertheless, the wound was so bad that she eventually could not make it. She passed away in that hospital and the corpse was brought back to Balaikota Palu.
